That sounds right......I think it's pretty late in the netherlands right now. We'll probably have to wait till tomorrow before they put the mobipocket viewer into IDS.
I'm curious if mobipocket is going to take advantage of the content lister's ability to display images. With the books I create, I always setup a manifest file with an image of the book's cover. It adds a nice touch that makes me not miss the dead tree version. |

That's the mythical super battery version iLiad+ (ER0100/001) right?

I just went ahead and downloaded the mobipocket creator and reader.
I must say, the support for mobipocket is almost enough to make me consder going back from my STAReBOOK (which still has not seen the promised firmware-update) to the Iliad. While the miseralbe battery-life and the booting-time issue are still pretty big showstoppers for me, the wonderful ease with which mobipocket software enables me to create ebook files is just something I have been missing. I will test the mobipocket viewer on the Iliad and will watch the developer section very closely to see what kind of improvements can be made once the debricking function is finally here (any news on that by the way?). Maybe there will after all be a way "back to the Iliad" for me... ![]() |

Being a Mac user, there is no Mobipocket desktop software available to me. Is there any reason / disadvantage to just copying the .prc files over to the iLiad?

As long as you only want to read the books then there should be no problem at all. I do that for my trusty old T3 all the time because direct copying on the SD card is faster.
Syncing through the desktop reader is only relevant for annotations. |

If you want to bundle your mobipocket books with a manifest.xml file and coverpage image for nicer browsing, there's some extra work but you have to do that work anyways regardless of whether you are using Desktop software as under windows, or simply copy the file as you would under MacOS. |
